Our favorite Hatch Recipes…

Celebrated by home cooks, cookbook authors and celebrity chefs alike, the Hatch green chile is the ideal ingredient to have on hand when you need to add a little kick to you next culinary creation. The one-of-a-kind flavor profile of these green beauties adds a true southwest flair to your morning eggs, burgers and even desserts. Try these family favorites with a Hatch Chile twist:

Brown the beef in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Drain off the rendered fat, then season the meat with the chile powder and set it aside to cool.

In an 8 inch square dish spread the refried beans in an even layer, followed by the ground beef, then the sour cream, tomatoes, salsa and Hatch Chiles. Top with shredded cheese. Chill for at least 2 hour before serving.
